The journey from Düsseldorf to Frankfurt went super and was super fast. The service in the morning was super relaxed and directly offered a coffee, which tasted very good. The service staff were also very nice and immediately put us in a good mood. We arrived in Frankfurt on time and had no problems at all on the entire journey. The seat was clean and the table had been cleaned beforehand. The internet also worked great throughout the journey and was perfectly adequate for surfing the web.
